Photo Hunter is a game that I did the development for under our company for Bric Entertainment.  It’s a huge hit on the iPhone and iPod Touch.  The last two weeks its was a top 100 Paid App in the US and has consistently been a Top 50 paid game on the iTunes App Store.

What’s even more surprising and super cool is that its the #1 Paid App in Singapore and #3 Paid App in Hong Kong (#1 Paid Game App)

So if you have not checked out the game yet, please do and you’ll see how highly addicting it can be.  We are planning on a new update very soon to add even more features to the game!

Below are some of the images of the game:

Wow!  Seems like a certain company can’t take any critical food for thought!  Instead of looking at what people are saying of a product and seeing what they can do to fix it or make it better, they’d rather get upset about it.  I guess sometimes the truth hurts.  I live and die by these products and when something is not working as good as it should, you should be able to say so!  I would hope someone would be listening and go back and see what they can do to make it better.  

I don’t believe in eating the food because someone told me that it’s good or that very soon it will taste better, while you know your getting sick from it.

I bet the bank on on a product and had our company invested a huge amount of capital we did not have because I told that this it was going to change the world.  I believed it, even later when I felt that maybe this was the wrong choice, I was convinced to continue to believe it.  

It was 100% the wrong choice for me and my company (Not saying it could be for others but I feel it was for me). It’s probably the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my career and I wish I could get back those years of my life and spent that time building a different part of the company.  God knows the rest of the team reminds me of that every week.  They were right and that is why I decided it was not worth the time, money or effort to go down a path that could put several people out of work.  I would never take an entire company down to do that.  Now I have to work 4X as hard to get my credibility back with people who trusted me but I think I’ve got some back because at least I could admit that we made the wrong choice and we can move on!

The product has HUGE potential.  Some critical flaws that we addressed with it but the turn in the economy there is just no way we could afford to continue hoping things would get better in the product and the economy at the moment.
